More of this pleaseeee
Absolutely loved this show!! I haven’t written many reviews but I couldn’t skip on this one. if nothing else but to share my love for the show ahahah.so much I could say but the thing that stands out the most for me about this is that the progression of their relationship actually felt realistic. there was substance and depth. And we get to see the development in real time. I feel like some slow build romcoms have brief build up then just jump into boom a relationship. but it’s like ok but this just can’t be two people liking each other 😂😂😂
I know reviews, rankings, etc. are extremely subjective, but if I had rank the office-based romcoms I’ve watched so far, this is 100% at the top. For me, it had a rather slow and weird start lol but it picked up and finished super strong.
I liked all the actors involved and that the co-workers didn’t just feel like lackeys taking up space lol. There are some extreme parts to personalities, and I feel like some things are stretched unnecessarily far, but that didn’t affect the show’s quality to me. I think things were really made up for with how much I appreciated the relationship’s progression and development.
The second couple’s storyline was kind of annoying at first and would’ve definitely preferred more of the main leads, but it was nice seeing the friendships with their respective main leads so I appreciated them being in the show.
I think if you want to watch a solid romcom with strong relationships (not just between the main leads and romantic ones), this is a solid watch. It is a 10 out of 10 for me because of the acting, overall turnout of the show, and the substance. I put the story at 8.5 mostly because of how the beginning was as well as what I was saying about some things being stretched too far.
Even though this is yet another office-based romance with the stuck up/annoying successor, I feel like this show took a different approach that has a lot of value. First, the FL is a team leader and not a secretary. Second, the ML has entertaining components. He’s not just all work all the time. Third, we get to see their connections with friends and family and see how that relates to them and who they are more. It’s not only superficial family stuff. This is part of why it’d be the best one of this type. Finally, flashbacks felt like they made sense and tied into overall story. Things came full circle at the end, and I loved it.
All in all, a great show, and definitely on my list for eventual rewatch (with some episode skipping hahaha).
